2010 Dana Estates Hershey Vineyard Cabernet - 99+ pts!
Dana Estates is the third winery to occupy this piece of vineyard land in the heart of the famed Rutherford Bench. First farmed and developed by German viticulturalist H. W. Helms in 1883, it was purchased in 1976 by John and Diane Livingston and served as the home for Livingston Moffett winery until proprietor Hi Sang Lee bought the property in 2005. The winery was re-designed by renowned architect Howard Backen, keeping the original stone walls as its centerpiece.  Hi Sang and Howard worked carefully with winemakers Philippe Melka and Cameron Vawter to insure that the space and facilities would enable the production of consistently world class wines.

Robert Parker 99+ RP - The 2010 Cabernet Sauvignon Hershey Vineyard explodes from the glass with intense, huge fruit, menthol, black cherries, chocolate, pine, cloves and crushed rocks. The essence of Howell Mountain comes through loud and clear in this stunning, utterly breathtaking wine. A large-scaled, structured Cabernet Sauvignon, the Hershey is going to require considerable patience. Exotic balsamic and spice notes continue to develop in the glass, giving the wine additional volume, depth and textural richness. There is little doubt the Hershey is one of the great wines of this magnificent vintage. The Hershey was fermented in barrel and spent 26 months in French oak, 100% new. Anticipated maturity: 2020-2030. It’s hard to know where to start with these magnificent wines from Dana Estates. The 2010s are epic, while the 2011s continue to show all the promise I sensed when I first tasted the wines this spring. The 2010s were brought in between October 6-20, while the 2011 harvest didn’t even start until October 22, only to finish on November 3! Napa Valley has attracted a lot of wealthy, big-time investors over the years, but few, if any, have managed to accomplish as much as Hi Sang Lee and his team have in such a short period of time. Readers who want to learn more about Dana Estates might enjoy taking a look at my video interview with winemaker Cameron Vawter.
